I was in for 14 years, and at the same time I was a Nationally Registered EMT, I fully understand the pro/reactive take. We certainly could agrue, but we are coming from the same place but since I'm older, I probably have a different take on it. OK, it's over. No rant from me about you -- won't happen. I'm 10-7 on this one. MN (in reply to dodgegirl67) Post #: 46

I think its funny you say that since you are older you probably have a different take on police work. I say that because like I mentioned earlier, my husband is 15 years older than me and has been in police work since the early 70's. Our biggest fights were over if one) you chase a guy that ran from you..(of course it really depended on the crime committed) and two) what happened to the guy that ran from you after you caught him. My husband being old school was one) why chase the guy to begin with only to possibly get hurt and be tied up doing paperwork for half the evening? and two) after you caught him he has to go to the hospital first...Me being younger one)chase him for the fun of it and two) if he went to the hospital first then your second stop after the jail was IAD...That got old for me real fast. Old school got away with it and the new way was you were going to get complained on so treat him with respect even after he diesrespected you and ran from you... So you see I had my fair share of fights with old school police work... I RESPECT all of you except for NiceRT...I have to back everyone up on this one...Its a baby picture for Godness sake!! It's not a bad picture...It's a picture of a sweet little baby girl!!! mnboy...You the one that owns your own construction business now?? Mostly electrical or both instrument/ electrical?? Tough job also...HOT job right now...Down here in southeast Texas we are short handed on contractor labor in the local plants due to Katrina and Rita hurricanes last year...All the good hands are taking the higher paying jobs and leaving the local refineries in a bind for labor.. _____________________________ [/image]http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m154/DFChopShop/JulesSig.jpg[/image] (in reply to mnboy) Post #: 47

I still work for the county but in a different job. I started police work in 1967 as an Explorer Scout, in the identification division. After I got my license in 1968, I went to the EVOC course and learned the left/right, 10-2 steering position and then started diving into jail division, radio division, and patrol (my favorite) division. In 1975 I went full time, but left CA for MN. I was an NR-EMT-A (Nationally Registered EMT Ambulance) from 1975 until 1994. I left law enforcement in 1988 and left the ambulance crew in 1994. I could tell you things that would make you laugh and cry -- I'm sure you could with me too. All in all, it is a great job in a lousy whiny society. When the cops have to worry about public opinion instead of doing their job, we are soon all doomed. The media has killed trust in our society -- nothing is sacred anymore, especially when they blow open undercover national security work, because "they have the RIGHT to know..." or "the public NEEDS to know". Why? I would rather be safe and not know. Rant over. MN PS = let's go find a Mustang to blow away... cover THAT channel 4!! (in reply to dodgegirl67) Post #: 48

For me one of the funniest moment was when me and my wife went on holiday to Czech Republic (mind you here in England the drivers seat is on the right!), we came to the Czech border and the patrol officer came to my wife’s/passenger side and asked her where we are coming from and where we are going (he was a German officer and very arrogant). Then he asked her for the papers of the car, so she passed it over. Then he asked for the insurance papers, she passed it over. On all those papers figured my name and he was so arrogant and probably trying to impress the others who were looking at our car as it was quite unusual Opel GTE 2.0 (lots of body styling, bigger wheels, loud exhaust and we were about 20, well young looking bastards ) and then he asked for the driving licence, of course she passed him mine. With his BAD english he said: "I'm not interested in his but I want to see yours." At that time she hasn't passed her test yet, so her reply was: "But I don't have any." Then he starts shouting out loud so all can hear: "I can't believe she's driving without a licence through the border check." I could allready see some of the other officers starting to laugh, holding theirs faces not to out loud. To that my wife replied: "But I'm not the driver!!!" Then the hell broke out. All the officers were laughing out loud and pointing at him, he looked inside the car, realized that the steering wheel is on the other side, red faced by anger he showed us to the vehicle check spot and did a proper car search while we were standing outside and still giggling. And the steering on the other side helped me on several occasions (in Czech) on turning to the road where you were not allowed or driving through a road where only public transport could, always screaming out loud: "Oh my god he has a steering on the other side." And letting me go after I told them how bad it is to be on the other side Now those were good times < Message edited by Velryba -- 9/5/2006 1:17:22 PM > (in reply to Daytona RT) Post #: 49
